It encompasses the following 5 areas: • Digital Access and Collections • Multilingualism in Communication • Diversity in Librarianship • Leadership of Libraries • Cultural Heritage/Disaster Recovery. We plan to include time to engage our panel with questions from the floor.

Since its inception it has promoted research in all areas of knowledge, music and artistic creation, as well as the dissemination of arts and culture with special attention to the XX and XXI centuries. Its activities are organized around contemporary art exhibitions, its museums in Mallorca and Cuenca, lectures on a variety of topics, research in social sciences, and contemporary music. All these activities have a specialized Library Service to support their work. The Foundation is home to the Library of Spanish Contemporary Music and Theatre. The current music collection started with the creation of the “Documentation Center of Contemporary Spanish Music” in 1983. Unique and innovative at the time, the documentation centre was created to bring together the music created by Spanish composers after the Civil War, the Scholarships for music creation granted by the Foundation since 1956, and the Foundation´s own contemporary music related work. The contemporary Spanish music collection of the Library is rich and unique. It includes legacies and personal archives of Spanish composers, music scores, recordings, photographs, playbills, posters, literature, biographical works of composers, and more. It's an essential collection for research in the Spanish and European contemporary music. CLAMOR is the result of the concert activity that begun in 1975, a digital library that aspires to incorporate all Spanish music concerts held at the Foundation. It has been designed as a portal to bring together all knowledge and heritage held by several departments. This collaboration is led by the Library and augmented with technical development and support from the Canadian open source SaaS company DiscoveryGarden. The collection has contributed material including audio, photographs, scores, playbills and composer biographies to an open source software framework called Islandora. The system presents this rich collection using the latest web-based technologies, including the ability to share the resources with the larger community. The project symbolizes a remarkable interdisciplinary partnership between professionals from the music, library and technology communities. The knowledge management philosophy underlying the project aspires to raise awareness of the importance of preservation of these digital assets within the Foundation. Preservation in this context includes enhanced digital asset management together with greater access to the collection internationally. CLAMOR also demonstrates the potential for libraries to work remotely with technology partners to produce custom digital curation solutions that fit local needs. Speakers: Paz Fernández (Fundación Juan March, Madrid), Mark Leggott (University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown) The Music Treasures Consortium Project Abstract: The Music Treasures Consortium is a unique project hosted by the Library of Congress to bring together digital images of primary source materials held by the British Library, Harvard University, LC, the Juilliard School, the Morgan Library and Museum, and NYPL. Our paper will present background on the development of the project and its technical challenges, as well as future directions. Speakers: Jane Gottlieb (The Juilliard School, New York, NY), Susan Vita (Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.) 3 Monday, 23 July IAML Montréal 2012 – Conference Programme (updated 11 July) Valoriser ses collections sur le Web et assurer la conservation et la diffusion du patrimoine musical : une nécessité pour les bibliothèques musicales. Le projet de bibliothèque numérique de la médiathèque Nadia Boulanger du CNSMD de Lyon Abstract: Dans un contexte d’harmonisation de l’architecture du système européen de l’enseignement supérieur et de l’application du processus de Bologne aux études musicales, donner accès aux chercheurs du monde entier via le Web aux partitions, traités, méthodes (…) devient une nécessité, à la fois pour répondre aux attentes et aux besoins de ce public spécialisé mais également pour assurer la conservation et la diffusion des documents. Cet enjeu est d’autant plus crucial, que de cette implication, dépendra la pérennité même de ces établissements (bibliothèques musicales, archives, centre de documentation) qui connaissent d’une façon générale une baisse de fréquentation sur place et une hausse des demandes d’accès distants. La médiathèque Nadia Boulanger du CNSMD de Lyon s’est engagée depuis 2005 dans cette mutation à travers le développement de son portail documentaire et le développement de l’accès sur internet à une partie de ses collections qui ont fait l’objet d’opérations de numérisation : la collection de monumentales du fonds Nadia Boulanger en partie annotée par Nadia Boulanger, et depuis cette année un fonds de méthodes instrumentales datant du 18ème et du 19ème ainsi que des œuvres vocales. Cette année, le projet de développer une bibliothèque numérique est devenu une priorité pour assurer la conservation, la diffusion et la valorisation des fonds numérisés et des productions du Conservatoire (enregistrements de concerts, master-classes, conférences…). Au cours de cette communication, nous détaillerons les critères musicologiques, bibliothéconomiques et technologiques qui ont guidé la mise en œuvre de ce projet de création de bibliothèque numérique. Develop its collections on the Web and assure the preservation and diffusion of musical heritage: a necessity for music libraries. The digital development project of the library Nadia Boulanger of the CNSMD of Lyon In the context of harmonization of the architecture of the European system of higher education and the implementation of the Bologna Process to musical studies, provide access to researchers worldwide via the web to scores, treatises, methods (…) becomes a necessity, both to meet the expectations and needs of this specialized audience but also to assure the preservation and diffusion of documents. This issue is particularly crucial, as this involvement will depend the future of these institutions (music libraries, archives, information centres) which know in a general way a reduction in on-the-spot public attendance and an increase of online requests. The music library Nadia Boulanger CNSMD Lyon engaged since 2005 in this transformation through the development of its library portal and the development of internet access to part of the collections that have been digitized : monumental editions of the Nadia Boulanger collection in part annotated by Nadia Boulanger, and this year a collection of instrumental methods dating from the 18th and 19th and vocal works. During this communication, we will detail the musicological and technological criteria which guided the implementation of this digital development project.
